SQL Injection in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-59834)
Summary
SQL injection in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-59834). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Siyuan's block search endpoint concatenates attacker-controlled paths[] values into SQL predicates used by non-SQL search modes. Through Siyuan's publish service, an unauthenticated visitor is forwarded to the kernel with a reader-role token and can reach POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock.
An attacker can inject a UNION SELECT through paths[] and return rows from hidden documents while projecting an allowed visible box and path. The post-query publish access filter trusts the projected box and path, so the injected hidden row is returned to the publish visitor.
Affected Code
The API blocks explicit SQL search mode for non-admin users, but allows other search methods to use caller-controlled paths:
if method == 2 && !model.IsAdminRoleContext(c) {
ret.Code = -1
ret.Msg = "SQL search requires administrator privileges"
return
}
blocks, matchedBlockCount, matchedRootCount, pageCount, docMode := model.FullTextSearchBlock(query, boxes, paths, types, method, orderBy, groupBy, page, pageSize)
if model.IsReadOnlyRoleContext(c) {
publishAccess := model.GetPublishAccess()
blocks = model.FilterBlocksByPublishAccess(c, publishAccess, blocks)
}
Source: input/siyuan/kernel/api/search.go
paths[] is parsed into notebook IDs and paths without SQL escaping or validation:
path := p.(string)
box := strings.TrimSpace(strings.Split(path, "/")[0])
if "" != box {
boxes = append(boxes, box)
}
path = strings.TrimSpace(…

Patched: 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
SQL injection (CWE-89) exists in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attack surface: POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock / POST /api/filetree/setPublishAccess / POST /api/setting/setPublish / box.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
